The Mansfield mansion was beautifully adorned with designed scented candles, large colorful flower bouquets, loops of banners and ribbons. There was not a speck of dust found not even in the crooks and crannies and the railings were polished carefully. Lords and ladies in expensive suits and elegant gowns were trickling in, in ones and twos. Slowly the large Mansfield hall was filled with chattering and laughter of people.

Lord Mansfield's masquerade party was a great success. Every one of the Lords and ladies was busy praising the party and enjoying the party to its fullest extent. The only one not enjoying the party was Ciel Phantomhive the 15 year old, owner of wide spreading Funtom Company. To him these parties are so childish, so he often found exclaiming to his butler Sebastian "How can one be as stupid as to waste time behind these motiveless parties?" to which Sebastian always smirked and answers affirmation. While they were amidst this conversation lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford the fiancé of the present Lord Phantomhive [Ciel] appeared out of nowhere and dragged him to the dance floor but was shortly interrupted by Alois Trancy a 16 year old blonde owner of the rich Trancy estate. "Would you like to join me in a dance, my dear beautiful lady?" he went on ignoring Ciel who was about to shout on him for stealing away his dance partner from him "I would be honored to get the company of such a gorgeous young lady."

"I would love to my Lord" was the answer. Ciel stared at Alois angrily as the couple made their way to the dance floor.

Ciel returned to Sebastian and ordered him to bring Elizabeth back to him. He then made his way towards the dance floor and grabbed a partner for him.

It was not that Alois liked Elizabeth or had a crush on her but his actions been controlled by the pleasure he got by playing with Ciel's emotion. He was happy with his victory and laughed under his breath. He looked pitifully at Elizabeth who was laughing while dancing. "A foolish creature she is!" he thought, "it's not her fault; all the girls are silly enough to make one laugh."

While Alois was busy thinking and laughing, something happened for which he has been waiting the whole evening.
